finished crochet purse
Crochet Keychain Mini-Coin PurseDo you ever find yourself hunting for quarters when you're out and about? I do!

And heaven forbid I need to park in front of a meter.

finished necklace hanging on knobs
Fun Yarn and Spool NecklaceI often buy shelving units that stack together using PVC dowels. When the package is purchased, there are 2 inch black "spacers" that get recycled. Well I used them for this project and it worked perfectly.

A clear shield for a roof rain gutter.
Crystal Clear Roof Rain GuttersMy traditional metal gutters worked more like car washes; clogging, overflowing and rotting the fascia boards. I took them off but then had too much water hitting the porch over front door.
